--I'm a firm believer that the 1Ds was the replacement for the 1D
just like the D60 was the replacement for the D30.
There is a large enough price difference for the two for there to
be something introduced between the two. A EOS 3 type body. I
don't care about MP at this point, I want 21 point AF
My wife would have to fight me off with a stick not to get that
one. I want more than 3 point focusing. I try hard but in some
pictures a focus point grabs something just slightly in front of my
subject some times (subject = 14 month old daughter) and since
during the christmas facation I wasn't wearing my contacts I missed
it (slight myopia, just enough to be annoying) and some of what
could have been great photos of my daughter opening presents are
out of focus enought to be annoying because her hand was holding a
piece of wrapping paper a few inches in front of her with one hand
or something like that.
Here we go! Last year there was much speculation about a
replacement D30 - will it happen; or not. A little regard for the
reports from dealers would have made it obvious - Canon were unable
to supply after Christmas.
Now we have a report (see Toronto retailer post) that Henrys in
Toronto are telling customers that the 1D is discontinued.
Can't speak for others, but I would consider it foolhardy to pay
top dollar (or top euro!) for a 1D from this point.
Wonder what will replace it?

How is that so?The nonsense we hear about AF, multi-point AF, and so on, really
distinguishes the men from the boys... oops, the photographers from
the gadgteers.
And with that little cheap shot you then claim to be the expert on whether or not th 1D is replaced byt the 1ds with nothing to back it up? Why pray tell is the 1Ds not the replacement for the 1D? Other than megapixel/imaging chip difference the cameras the major features are the same if not slightly improved. It's the major replacement for teh 1D just like the D60 replaced the D30The nonsense we hear about AF, multi-point AF, and so on, really
distinguishes the men from the boys... oops, the photographers from

P.S. - No, definitely no, the 1Ds is NOT (repeat NOT) a replacement
for the 1D.
The 1Ds has absolutely NOTHING in common with the 1D. After the body, they are different cameras designed to do different things.And with that little cheap shot you then claim to be the expert onThe nonsense we hear about AF, multi-point AF, and so on, really

When the D60 replaced the D30, they shared the same platform
(imager) ,with nothing more that some slight improvements in image
quality(#pixels) (depends who you talk to), and a few cosmetic
changes ( illuminated focus points). AND.....a comparable price.
I CANNOT SAY A REPLACEMENT CAMERA SHOULD COST ALMOST TWICE AS
MUCH AS ITS REPLACEMENT
Sorry...I think the gap is WAY too big!!!
EOS-1D: 8fps, 500th/sec flash sync, ISO 3200 max.Why pray tell is the 1Ds not the replacement for the 1D?
EOS-1Ds: 3fps, 250th/sec flash sync, ISO 1250 max.
Not to mention that for sports/photojournalism, 11 megapixels is
overkill and imposes significant costs in image processing times.
(And the 1Ds's lower res mode is not particularly useful in this
regard.) The market that loves the EOS-1D will not embrace the
EOS-1Ds. (Even if it were priced the same.)
-Z-
1 - More resolution (at least 6MP)
2 - Some added features (speed or buffering)
3 - Same rough street price as the 1D (or lower)
4 - ?? more
If they add too much resolution (8MP or more) and keep the price at
under 6K they will further marginalize the 1Ds.
If they don't add much more resolution and don't add significant
features who would upgrade?
If it's much more expensive most (includnig me) will skip this model.
If it's much less they marginalize the D60 market.
It will be interesting to see what's in store! Or, not in store
(backordered!)

When did Canon sign on Henry's in Toronto to handle all of their press releases, like the discontinuation of a popular camera model like the 1D?Here we go! Last year there was much speculation about a
replacement D30 - will it happen; or not. A little regard for the
reports from dealers would have made it obvious - Canon were unable
to supply after Christmas.
Now we have a report (see Toronto retailer post) that Henrys in

You might believe what you want but it is not necessarily true. The 1DS and the 1D have very different specs and prices. If the 1DS replaces the 1D then Canon has no DSLR for sports (8fps, etc). That is ridiculous.I'm a firm believer that the 1Ds was the replacement for the 1D
just like the D60 was the replacement for the D30.
